Texte : Many of the leaders of Britain's most prominent cultural institutions - speaking on behalf of organisations across the whole country - ... argue that while the cultural sector is willing to play its part in the country’s economic recovery with realistic cuts, the 25% - 40% cuts being proposed would be catastrophic as they come on top of 3.5% cuts this year as well as the cultural sector’s £322 million contribution to the costs of the Olympics.

The national directors are deeply concerned that the cultural sector’s unique model of mixed funding, which is admired all over the world, will be severely damaged by the depth and extent of the cuts being discussed. The government's proposal that renewed efforts should be made to attract philanthropy is welcome, especially if it were to be accompanied by tax incentives. However, such new giving cannot be expected to make good immediate shortfalls, a view shared by a group of leading British philanthropists who have written to the government to express this view.
